A Different Travelling Experience With Noise Cancelling Headphones

By: David E Parker

Well, the nature of my day job calls for a good deal of travelling. There was once I had to fly from Dallas, Texas to LA for 3 hours before taking another flight to Hong Kong (and back) in 2 days! Just for a crucial business seminar. Although I love the duty travel, trust me, flying continuously for 20 hours non-stop can really be quite exhausting. Especially if you don't always have the comfort of travelling on the more expensive class class. The long hours. And not to mention the never-ending hissing of the aircraft engines. It just wears you out sometimes.

I probably thought I would have to bear with the sound pollution on the flight. Pretty much as long as I'm required to travel. But a good friend's advice altered all that. He advocated getting a set of Bose Quiet Comfort noise cancelling headphones on flight. It cost a tidy sum but well, for the pleasure of the flying experience I go through now, it was definitely deserving of it!

Noise Cancelling Headphones - What's That?

They are simply audio phones that use technology to reduce ambient noise through active noise control. Mikes in the noise canceling headphones emits acoustic wave to combat noise whenever they detect its presence.

One concern is that an over the headphone works much more effectively than the in-ear smaller earpieces. That probably means, people who like to listen to the music while jogging or exercising may need to get a separate set of regular phones from the ones they bring onflight. But is it worth fussing over that? Definitely!

How It Benefits Jetsetters Like You

From what I can see, the headphones is a definitely lifesaver! Not only wasI able to enjoy a more comforting travelling experience, I get to listen to my lovely music without fighting with the noise from the engines. This is actually a very major concern, as I tend to combat the noise by bringing up the music's volume. I wasn't sure what was the effects of that on my hearing but since getting the noise cancelling headphones, my tendency to increase the volume had been greatly reduced.

Besides that, on certain flights which allow travellers to watch movies or play video games, I find myself easily engaged in the plot or exhilaration without the annoying hissing from the aircraft engine. As a matter of fact, the headphones was so good in cutting back clatter that there were times when the air stewardess had to tap on my shoulder to get my attention.

Frankly, if you ask me whether there's anything I couldn't leave home without, other than my luggage & travelling documents, it has to be my Bose noise cancelling headphones!
